It works works works! Tested and get it worked on tab 2 10.1 and HTC one x! How to get it to work: ON YOUR TV GO TO NETWORK DEVICE SETUP-EXTERNAL DEVICE SETUP AND ENTER YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD! After that go to Toshiba app on your android device and you will see it on the list! If you entered wrong password on your phone,go to device registration and remove current tv,go back to main screen and you will be prompt to enter password again! Thanks

Don't believe the negativity This app is awesome and works just great. Anyone who gave it a bad review obviously has no clue how to set it up and get it working properly. I use it all the time with my Toshiba BDX3300XB and it works like a charm.

Needs work This app is somewhat difficult to set up, I could see the non tech savvy struggling. The interface is quite sluggish and unresponsive. That being said it works as described all be it in a quite feature free format. Nothing new is available that is not on the remote control provided, at least I would have expected a qwerty keyboard to pop up when text needs to be inputted.

No keyboard To be fair as a basic TV remote with a touchpad function for a Toshiba SmartTV Web browser it's fine but where this app fails miserably is with the omission of a keyboard. To type up a URL you'll be left pressing the arrow buttons to move the cursor over a non qwerty keyboard on the TV screen making it painfully slow and just not worth the effort. Hopefully an update for this, nearly 3 year old app, will drag it in line with the capabilities of the latest Toshiba SmartTVs. [app tested on Toshiba 47l6453db]

Update killed it To be fair, it was a pretty handy app but could have done with more buttons on each screen and less screens imo. That was, of course, until it updated. Just crashes my i9000 whenever the tv is selected.

OK, but needs improvements. I have Toshiba L7333 Smart TV, and apparently the mouse navigation option in the Toshiba Remote works but not so fluid. The problem is responsiveness. Mouse pointer is somehow not well synchronised with the mobile app, so when i try to navigate it needs a lot of effort to point at something with the cursor. It would be very nice if the developer can improve the mouse navigation functionality because the browsing experience will be much better and easier of course. Overall, the app is OK.

Pretty but pointless As mentioned numerous times in previous reviews, no point without keyboard, does'nt even fully replicate all keys of the remote, and key presses don't always register, all in all you may as well use the original cheap and nasty remote. Navigating the on screen keyboard is a nightmare, however on the positive side its free! Add a keyboard and this app will average 5 stars.

Pointless without android keyboard support Why bother providing a mouse pad function but no android keyboard support. Toshiba developers, I despair for you. Cursoring around a TV based keyboard is nobody's idea of a fun experience.

Functional but needs polish ##YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THE TOSHIBA DB APP FIRST ## This app only works if you have the remote, as you need to choose a username and password via the remote. You also need to use the remote to turn on the blu ray or tv then you can use the app to switch it off again. The app works alongside the remote but doesn't offer anymore functionality as you can't use the android keyboard.

It just works No problems on phone or tablet and just does what the remote does. Has gestures which seem useless. Not 5 stars because they missed a trick not allowing you to use the Android keyboard in place if the TVs software keyboard for text entry.

Very kool To enable, go to set up, then preferences then network device set up then external control setup, thrn device registration then new device detection and enable. You can then use this app to connect and input 4 digit code :-D. I am glad. Now i just have to make sute i can find my phone lol!

Works now (Nexus 4) Works well now, glad to see that Toshiba got their act together and fixed it to work on more devices. The layout could be much better. It's a little annoying having to scroll through everything. A customisable remote would be ideal.
